Cupcake Cram: Competitive Cupcake Eating

On Saturday, Boulder, Colorado's Tee & Cakes pastry shop hosted the first-ever Cupcake Cram, a cupcake-eating contest. 9news.com ("Colorado's News Leader," no less) reported: "World Champion Dale Boone scarfed down 34 cupcakes, as did a local man named Jimmi Mares. The tie triggered a three-cupcake playoff: whichever man could eat the three cupcakes faster would be crowned the winner... Boone wolfed down the three playoff cupcakes in 12 seconds to earn the victory."
